So... frame pre-order is live...

Guessing it's going to be similar money for a GX build to the Scandal (£1200 ish), I like the orange.
The last hardtail I bought was a 26er - Persuade me this sort of geometry is going to be ok for heading off into the mountains and hitting natural trails for a few days or should I save some more pennies and go for the titanium Mutsu (£1900)?
Aware that the Bootzipper exists, but I definitely want a suspension fork...
I'm in a similar position. I bought this a few years ago and I'm wondering/deciding if I want to do a frame/wheel swap or just get the full build.
Looks sexy in orange though doesn't it.
Through axle doesn't come with it?
Through axle doesn’t come with it?
That's correct
Does it require the 1,5 TPI axle? What length would be best please?
I wondered if this was coming when I saw the axles on the website but no bike to go with them.
How does this work again....BrantBrantBrant, er, Brant?
or long rigid only fork if you want.
How long is long, if it's rigid? I can do 490 in carbon, 530 in aluminium.
How long will the pre-order special price go for?
thanks
wot, no £100 preorder discount code as per scandal?
Needs at least £100 discount so I can afford the new hub 🙁
Are any of these new frames going to be non-boost for those of us with serviceable but unfashionable parts, Brant or shall I give up hope?!
@lcj I hear the bootzipper 650b will be 100/142.
But you can just use the boost adapter kit of a rotor spacer and bolts and two 3mm axle spacers to fit your current wheels. PX sell one and loads on eBay.
Thanks wzzz. Hadn't been able to find an adaptor for old hope Pro 2s (non evo) before now, are you talking about this one: https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WSAS12RWBAK6/ashima-142x12mm-6-bolt-rear-hub-to-boost-adaptor-kit
Any idea if that works with pro 2s? If it does then I thank you Wzzz and retract my slightly grumpy comment, Brant!
Should work so long as the wheel is set up 142x12. You can get a kit for the front too if you get some new boost forks. Bit of a faff if you take the wheels out regularly, maybe a blob of glue or tape at assembly time will stop the axle spacers rolling under the fridge when removing the wheel.
Brant - commission to usual account, ta 😉
Seriously no pre order discount Brant, are the Steel lovers being discriminated against 😀
Was interested in this,
...Until I spotted the On-One Current Project page (3/ Ti Inbred 29 Evo - 29er 120mm fork , big tyres)
Hmm. I wonder how long it will be before this project becomes reality?
I'm guessing that is discounted, since the early word was in would be significantly more costly than the aluminium scandal.
Also, is it my imagination or is it a straight headtube?

Yeah, straight 44mm by the look of it which is nice as it gives plenty of options
why do you have to but the axle separate? Seems very bizarre.

Ryanair pricing system.
because most people buying a frame will already have one in the frame they're getting rid of ?
But yes... seems weird.

Won’t fit though in most cases.
Main reason is axles come from different supplier and we aren’t working the stock on arrival to combine.
@weeksy but they are seemingly different lengths and thread tpi for every frame, so you are are always going to need one.
£21 for one when buying a frame is a bit.... RyanAir
Like PX's postage is never free unlike everyone else's.
Expect to have to pay extra for paint and decals as the very last stage at the checkout after entering payment details next week.

But you are doing full builds? (Asking because I want one...)
Fair enough Brant.
Is it just me that can't find the axle? Also am I misremembering or has it gone up by £40 already?
yeah had one in the basket, axle is now "free" frame is now £275... interesting.
I put a frame and an axle in my basket (£233 + £21) and after giving myself a brief cooling off period, frame is now showing as £275 and description of axle has disappeared but is showing as free. Laurel and Hardy picture still showing.
I'm now struggling to commit as I will feel like I've lost £42
Could Brant Brant Brant please confirm that for the extra £42 I would receive an axle not just a print of aforementioned comedy duo act?
Don't buy anything yet.
"Don’t buy anything yet."
"They cannot even be bothered to take proper photographs. They'll probably go rusty too. Infact they definitely will. Avoid - Do not buy one."
All this reverse psychology makes my brain hurt.
Don’t buy anything yet.
You are my wife and I claim my 5 pounds
No. That’s a Bootzipper.
https://www.planetx.co.uk/s?q=Bootzipper
Code UNZIP gets you £200ish off a bike or £100 off a frame.
Big Dog bike and discounts launched tomorrow.
Cheers Brant I think I need to visit Specsavers 😂
BrantBrantBrant - can you give any details on chainring size clearance chainline etc for the big dog.
Also rigid forks - acceptable lengths etc
Cheers.
Geometries (angles, tube lengths) on the Big Dog (130mm travel fork) and 29er Bootzipper (440mm AC rigid fork) look pretty much identical. What am I missing?

Someone’s messed up the spec csv file.
Ok. Can't remember, are you offering up a matching fork for the 29" Bootzipper? The 440mm AC figure suggests you could use a suspension corrected 26" fork like the current On-One model - is that right?

The £225 deal with code UNZIP gets you frame, fork, axles.
Yes. It’s a 440 rigid with bosses and a through axle.
I’ll dig out the right geometry when I’ve got my pants on.
(spoiler alert - i have no pants on)
loads of clearance for a 32t chainring even at a 50mm chainline. Boost will move it out. Suspect a 36t might even fit, but not in the spec.
(spoiler alert – i have no pants on)
Thanks for the warning, that had the potential to spoil rather a lot for rather a long time.
Is it safe to order a big dog now then, or more to the point, am I safe to wait until the weekend once SWMBO has had a few glasses of I'm-going-to-be-in-less-trouble?

Frame will be £175 tonight or tomorrow
UPDATE: Code HOTDOG now offers frame at £175

Whoo hoo.

Wait, we only get 2 days to get our affairs in order? The aluminium people got 2 weeks!
Please have pants on please have pants on.
Whoops. Accidentally bought a Big Dog frame after seeing this....
This is why I'll never be rich 😂
Phosphate ordered. Now ideally just to find a decent rear hub before the frame arrives
What's the code for the Big Dog complete?
Will it take a 27.5+?
Code is HOTDOG
Haven’t checked B+
Stays a bit narrower tho so less likely.
(checked drawing. Looks like a no.)
Will it take a 2.6 29er?
Don't suppose you've got any better photos of the two colour options of the Big Dog, Brant?
Trying to decide on a colour....
😀

Depends. I’m sure someone will find one that won’t fit.
There’s around 80mm between the rear stays at that point.

No sorry
Orange, Large ordered. yay!!
It's going to be loads of fun establishing which parts from the old 29er fit and which don't work on this frame. All part of the attraction...
As it's going to be both commuter and bikepacker, I need as wide a range of gears as I can get away with. Without breaking the bank on 12 speed nor changing the rear hub.
I heard a rumour (I read a post in the other thread) about a rigid fork version. Any details on spec, availability? Would be interested but don't want to miss the discount!

It's on the site already, the SX full build comes with it. You have to spec the Rock Shox if you want them.
Cheers Jim - saw that.
Was wondering if there would be a F & F option. Also doesn't say much about the fork (length, axle etc) unless I missed it

It's a 490mm carbon fork with boost spacing.
Spousal approval negotiated, order placed. 🙂
More than a month to wait 🙁
Was all on board for a big dog, looked at the numbers then slept on it. Maybe its a bit too near to my LS SolarisMax for me to justify.
Bootzipper on the other hand, may be a lot nearer to the type of riding I'm doing these days.
Don't really need another bike but I always get sucked in on this forum.
Big dog frame in raw phosphate ordered. Never built a bike up from frame only before and fancy it as a winter project. Plan to buy a few bits each month and raid the spares box and see what happens. Will be using it for local trails, bit of bikepacking and as a general run around town bike so hopefully can pick up some bargain parts and go from there.
@brant - are you going to be doing GX builds of the Big Dog for pre-order?
Will this frame need boost cranks?
Do we know the seat clamp size? I'm guessing 34.9 to suit a 31.6 but would be good to have a real number

34.9 according to the spec list.

Previous page according to Brant 32 teeth on non boost should fit fine - he quotes 50mm chainline which is +/- what a lot or cranks quote.
36 teeth in boost should fit but bit in spec.
Anyone know how long the discount code will be on for?
I know it's meant to be a dig describing these as shit gas pipe frames, but the big dog sticker says it's triple butted on the image (impossible to read on mobile as the images won't zoom but I saw it last week on the laptop) One of the other frames was the same... this is crap...but the sticker suggested otherwise.
So, are the main tubes 'nice' or is the triple butted slightly posh sounding sticker only referring to the down tube?
34.9 according to the spec list.
Thank you - I missed your post last week.
Oooo, exciting, just got the email that my bike should be built tomorrow...
New bike day on Friday maybe...
Anyone got news or had email on the frame only orders?
I've just noticed a mistake on my order confirmation from last month. It makes it look like I've only ordered a big dog thru axle 😮 but my PayPal receipt says big dog frame.
Eeeek. Wish I'd spotted that sooner.
My frame order email was the same, looks like only the thru axle. Sure it’s fine. No news but PX Instagram post suggests the shipment arrived today as scheduled.
Nice one. Wonder when new frame day will be then.
Just checked with customer service and the order is fine and frames are getting shipped out for delivery early next week.
Went on PX chat to see if I needed to stay at home tomorrow, and sadly, it seems the axles have failed QA so nothing is going out just yet. They are on to Superstar to see what they can turn out.
An email will go out with revised delivery timescales once they have them...
Anybody had any Big Dogs shipped/delivered yet? Either full bikes or frames. Waiting on a frame. I had heard about the axle issue, but since pre-ordering I've not received any correspondence at all, anyone got a revised timescale through?
Just this minute got the shipping notification- new bike day tomorrow...
Awesome. Hopefully frame orders wont be too far behind.
Also waiting on a frame...hopefully not too much longer
I have ordered a frame and hopefully i could be building the bike at weekend.
I think like some others, I got an order update e-mail yesterday, which doesn't specifically say it's out for delivery and just repeats the limited info from the original order confirmation; i.e. just mentions the axle not the frame that I've paid for. I've no idea what's going on. Frustrating, Brant....
